This is brilliant stuff, a very nice high level explanation that skips everything that would make it too boring for a first time reader.

Adding other resources at the end which explain how it _really_ works under the hood would be great.
Google just doesn't have the attention span required for this sort of thing. I was around at Google when Larry Page was pushing the "more wood, fewer arrows" mantra but it never translated to organizational or cultural change.

Some things work very well when they're bottom-up or engineering focused (eg search, GMail). Others require top-down leadership to create a coherent product and user experience (eg an operating system). So Google has built some amazing technology but hasn't been great at things that require polish. Apple OTOH has been very good at producing a consistent user experience.

Apple can push through things in a way Google can't because Google engineers are incentivized to write something new or rewrite something for "impact" to get promoted and then you move on to the next hot thing. Apple Pay is a great example of what Apple is good at. They just keep plugging away. Every week there's another bank in some minor country that signs on and over the years they've built an ecosystem. Google doesn't have that kind of patience.

Likewise with the Apple Watch. It was originally launched as a "luxury" product, mainly due to a bad executive hire (IMHO) ie Angela Ahrendts. It's found a niche (but still not mass market appeal) as a health and fitness device.

APIs are forever. You have to be extremely careful about what you release into the wild. Once something hits production, you've made a commitment. There are only so many times you can burn your platform users.

Another example I came across recently was with Nest. There's another Google product (because of course there is) called Google Matter for integration into, say, Amazon or Apple's smart device ecosystems. But guess what? The Nest Learning Themostat isn't compatible and won't be migrated. Because reasons. And this was a device that they were selling last year. That's just unacceptable.

Remember the debacle with Linux support for Google Drive?

Anyway, fitness devices are still a relatively small market and Apple have consumed a lot of the oxygen. This market just isn't big enough for Google to really care about. Google Fit was probably someone's E6->E7 project and they're long gone now.

The rules of parlimentary democracy primarily seems to be a way to reduce the whims of a great number of people to a small number of people in a room talking. The issue is that building consensus or even giving everyone a fair chance to air their views in a group of 20+ people is EXHAUSTING. Have you ever been to any local politics groups where there are more than about 20 in a room? a meeting to decide what to have for lunch can take 3+ hours. It has its perks too, and its a lot faster when everyone gets to know each other and feels that they are known, then they dont have to repeatedly restate their points every time.

I guess what im saying is its a system very much built around the analog practicalities of speaking with physical people in a physical room. I think we can do better with the internet

This is because you have one vendor who does a specific task (ie audience matching for a data management platform or third party audience vendor) and that vendor uses tens/hundreds of vendors to power their product. So you place a single 1x1 image pixel, but that can call one of many different scripts.

I once completed a six month project that had a 9 page design doc, and the required director never signed off - but the work had to start.

The project shipped on time (successfully), but the director gave feedback on the design doc and asked for changes to the approach a day afterwards.

Awkwardly, that director had no clue the project shipped the day prior without his input, and he held a special meeting with me to apologize for completely ignoring months of requests to review and approve the design doc.

I hate design docs. I wasn’t even at Google, but worked somewhere that uses design doc culture. Thanks Google.
That's a very plausible strategy – after all, Google Gemini regardless of its technical merits is probably making money from GSuite corporate customers. (I say this as someone in a large but fairly conservative Google shop with policies that initially allowed OpenAI and Gemini, but is now limited to Gemini.)
What a great read!
But that's not how shareholder value is created. Shareholder value is created by press releases and hype, encouraging new people to buy the stock and drive up the price, not by building anything useful to society or long-term profitable.

So if Google Fit drove a hype cycle, it was successful.

I'm not sure that people are asking for ads. You explain how they actually are asking for free stuff, while some website owners who want more money, decide to use ads to make more money.

If your goal is to give users what they want, beware of confusing their actual wants with your preferred monetization method. Wanting the former isn't the same as wanting the latter.

How do you find out what people want? A good rule of thumb is to prefer asking them over trying to logic it out. Would most people answer "ads"? No, because they do not want ads.
Does it make a difference of context whether or not they've successfully shoehorned only 99%?

Good catch. You're right about the antenna voltage if it's system power. But it's not all that clear in the article either! Here's an example:

>Most steerable antennas typically use somewhere between 500 watts and 1 kilowatt of power, but thanks to the metasurface antenna’s passive beamforming approach, Greenerwave’s terminal will use just 70 W, Lerosey says.

I'd presume that the Starlink 100W terminal is not a directly competing technology.

Rereading the whole article carefully it seems that the power savings comes from not actively switching so I think you're right that it's system power.

A simplified experience for Workspace users to add 2-Step Verification methods
There needs to be extra evidence before claiming that "virtually all VPNs apps" are vulnerable. From my understanding, they tested WireGuard on multiple platforms. However, other VPN clients may install extra firewall rules, I've seen that happen with VPNs on Windows/macOS/Linux.
What are you doing with arrays that mutating them is maddening and has limited applications? Is this some kind of a cult?
It's possibly not that easy.

Cyclists try do draft when possible. When there is no wind, or the wind is from ahead, it's simply: ride behind the rider in front of you. But when the wind comes from the side, it's best to position yourself somewhat to the side of the rider ahead. In my experience (but I have to admit I my experience is quite limited) it's actually surprisingly difficult to find the best position in that case.

The main issue was math/rand having a `Read` utility function with the same signature as crypto/rand, compounded by packages being namespaced but the namespacing not being preserved by importing. So a call to `rand.Read()` could be cryptographic or not you'd have to check the import to be sure.

Can anyone explain logically for lottery being legal and startup investing not?
Can anyone explain to me logically that lottery and gambling being %100 legal and direct startup investing is not for avg joe? My intelligent does not understand beyond it's only not legal to keep rich really rich. So some part of investing is illegal because it gives positive returns. Gambling is legal with very very low chance of return in long term or no return.It's statistical fact.
I was also a bit disappointed by the lack of open source coverage. If someone uses proprietary crap that doesn't work, they can go cry to their vendor, but I'd like Thunderbird, K9, FairEmail, and RoundCube to work for example. Anyone is free to use these so it would be cool if emails work there

Would you be interested in adding RoundCube, FairEmail, and K9 support? Those clients I'm familiar with so I can easily load up some eml files into my IMAP server and try them out, but it's some 144 tests total and a tad much to do all alone for "fun"

> did not know until now that 90% (!!!) of Palestinians "believe that Hamas did not commit any atrocities against Israel civilians

I know some Palestinians, and yes, they seem extremely misinformed, clueless about what Hamas did.

I was surprised after October 7 when they seemed to have had no idea about what had happened. They apparently only knew that IDF had started bombing. I might even guessed 95% instead of 90% "believe that Hams did not ...".

Al Jazeera lies by omission -- by not mentioning what Hamas did, and, if it does, then downplaying the numbers.

The Israeli newspapers lie by omission, too: they don't let their readers know how many civilians Netanyahu and IDF has killed in Gaza. Al Jazeera and right wing Israeli newspapers manipulate the Palestinians and Israelis, respectively.

> ask whether Al Jazeera has been purposely feeding misinformation to the Palestinian population during the war

Of course they do

This uses DHCP Options to set routes, which is an optional behavior on the client (but on by default), I have it disabled. I also don’t allow setting DNS via DHCP or anything but giving me an IP and gateway. Clients behind the device are unimpacted, the device itself is configured in a way which eliminates this vulnerability.
Yes, the expected dividends, however growth in stock prices are due to /unexpected/ risk adjusted growth.
ISO options often have a 10 year period after vesting, it is unlikely to be predictable in pricing.

Also, the exercise amount has to be the current share price or higher or you pay gains on them.

Edit:
You see the same thing with unvested RSU’s if the company does not do something extra but not required.

Edit2:
The price you pay for the option on the open market accounts for it as best they can, but does not account for grants in ISO options and unvested RSU’s. Largely held by insiders. Hence the conspiracy theories.

I have had to switch from fitbit to garmin, because new fitbit devices require a google account, but apparently my google account isn’t good enough (I signed up to their business suite thing because I wanted to use gmail with my own domain name, only for business accounts to be deprecated with no migration path...)

(UK here, things will vary from place to place)

Long-established ISPs generally have real IPv4 addresses to give out, though they are not statically allocated. If your router is on 24/7 you tend to have the same address for a long time, but it isn't really static. Newer ISPs are more likely to be using CGNAT. True static IPv4 is available from some ISPs, particularly those that target small/medium businesses as much as (or instead of) residential users.

On mobile you are pretty much guaranteed to be behind CGNAT, though I don't think anyone would expect to have anything remotely static in that circumstance anyway.

I have static IPv4 at home (actually a /29 – I've had this account long enough that it wasn't difficult to get back then, and the ISP is more commercially targetted), and VPN to that when mobile. Probably makes me easier to track by stalkers not blocked by PiHole and other such provisions, but it does mean I don't often see CAPCHAs.

My VPN use is for protecting myself from potentially bad local networks, rather than hiding my ID or falsifying my location (or where location matters, I'm pretending to be at home not some other place), which is a different set of priorities to many.
Maybe, but on the other hand, I imagine the stock price of the first company that can go public with having AGI would go up by a lot. It would be an expensive secret to maintain.
At what point do we say "This company is rotten to the core and needs shut down"? This article alleges that they may be falsifying safety stuff!

It's not like they're making lollipops ffs... they're transporting millions of people per day in things that cannot afford to have issues... ever!

Sure, I understand that the media has them under a spotlight right now but even so!

You are correct, for oil contracts near expiration. All oil containers (in certain areas) were full, so anyone taking delivery would need a place to store the oil.

The market needed a way to transfer this risk (risk of delivery) so prices went negative meaning you were paid to find a place for the oil.

It's really neat actually and shows how almost all of the financial system is really a big "risk transfer" mechanism.

> design was taken forward (approved by the team) just to be heavily criticised during implementation

Pretty strange that it was approved by the team and then criticized. Is this a recurring thing or just a one-off issue people did not spot early enough? If it's frequent, the team should either do a better job of discussing before implementation or understand that they have to unite behind the decision once a design is approved.

the magic power of spreadsheets is that they encourage improvisation, and it probably applies to that one.

you have only one data structure (the 2D table), data types are super-weak, there are no variable names... all of this guarantee a maintenance nightmare, and rightfully scares developers. But it's also a very low barrier to entry. You've got data, you paste them into the grid, and you start toying with them, before having figured anything about them.

That's an amazing superpower, when targeting non-developers, and that's why Excel is the most used programming language over the world, by far: it's probably got an order of magnitude more users than there are trained developers in the world.

You can think of a mortgage like renting a house from your bank.

Or a bit more precisely, for the time the mortgage is running, you and the bank are essentially co-owners, and you rent the share you don't own from the bank (that would be the interests) while at the same time, you buy the bank share bit by bit (that would be the principal). At the end, you become a full owner and stop paying "rent" to the bank.

I take back my prior comment because urea really is a diuretic in effect, so there is a possibility of it working in theory to relieve a small stone. Even so, the urine should probably first be checked for normalcy via a urine test strip. In practice, during a stone, urine is often mixed with blood, and the combination would be utterly strange to drink.

These days we have pharmaceutical diuretics, but one has to have procured them ahead of time because no doctor here will give you one to pass a stone. They would prefer to bill you instead for an expensive lithotripsy procedure which also gives you a lot of radiation via fluoroscopy.
